Off the Grid and Outta Sight …
A couple builds a secret (& green) hideaway in the mountains of North Carolina.
There is getting away, and then there is getting away – from civilization, from everything. When real estate developer Ted Prosser and his wife, Sharon, first started snooping around the Asheville, N.C., area for land on which they could build a timber frame cabin, they knew they wanted something private and serene.

With less than a dozen houses built on the 476-acre lake, the spot promised a good dose of tranquility. “Most bodies of water are clustered with houses and development,” says Ted. “But this was a beautiful, rustic, underdeveloped piece of land with long, beautiful coves and fingers surrounded by red oak and white pine trees.
